SCRANTON, Pa. — The campaign trail is bringing former President Donald Trump through our area Wednesday afternoon.
Trump is hosting a rally at Riverfront Sports Complex on West Olive Street in Scranton.
More than a thousand people lined up outside the Riverfront Sports Complex as we are still several hours away from former President Donald Trump speaking in Lackawanna County.
People from all over northeastern Pennsylvania and some from out of state came to hear the former president speak.
The topics on many minds here today are the border, the economy, and of course the upcoming presidential election.
The first man in line was Brian Saunders of Stroudsburg. Saunders claimed his spot at 4 a.m. Wednesday morning.
"After they tried to assassinate him, I said, you know what, it's time to step up and do my part. I became a Trump Force member. Door knocking, getting out to vote, registrations. I'm doing what I have to do to help get this man back elected into the presidency," said Saunders.
The presidential candidate is expected to speak around 3 p.m. Wednesday in Scranton, but he won't be spending much time in the Electric City. He has a rally at 7 p.m. in Reading.
We will continue to bring you coverage of Trump's remarks in Scranton in later editions of Newswatch 16.
